There are many ways to give back. Find an opportunity that appeals to you, using the resources below.

- Follow and like AACC Volunteer on Facebook for lots of local volunteer activity.

- If you have court-ordered community service hours to complete, you may be able to find opportunities through Volunteer Match.
Note: You must notify any organization you wish to volunteer for that you have court-ordered community service hours to complete and provide information on the nature of your offense. Failure to notify the organization may result in an inability to verify hours completed. Whenever you attend a project, we strongly recommend that you get a community organization official to verify the hours you have served at the end of each project day. It is often difficult to get verification of hours later. AACC does not provide hour verification for any project. Need help? Email volunteer@aacc.edu.
